CONCEPT OF THE SERIES
Actually we liked in starting this series, so as to see many variations in particular type of ingredients.
For example
Main Ingredients - Rice and Milk - Using these 2 ingredients we can make many recipes right??? ex: Rice Kheer, Pongal and etc...So using these ingredients u have to be prepare any recipe with your innovation or variation...
The main ingredients would be the same but they may have variation regionally and even individually like using different types of rice or milk products or in cooking method etc... So we would like to collect or gather all variations in one place so that we all can learn new recipes or new techniques in what we all already know.
Are you interested to part in the series...
Then no worries just mail me - vgdharmaraj@gmail.com
Before going to our series ingredient, I have listed down the INNOVATORS who given their names to the series...
